international or even global in nature. Drivers of the globalization include increased competitiveness through offshore manufacturing and global sourcing. During this course, the increasing complexity and the challenges of operations on a global scale will be discussed together with the participants. The theory modules at the beginning of the course structure the options of a general operations strategy and illustrate its implementation in the organization. The subject specific modules, elaborated by the participants in the course, enable a profound understanding of single activity areas of global operations and their relation to the global operations strategy. Therewith the students will get insights in the importance of an integrated global operations strategy and will become familiar with the main strategic options in this field.


Participation in the first seminar session is mandatory, as the topics for the teamwork are chosen during this session by the participants. In the following weeks, based on own research using scientific sources, key topics are elaborated in teams. Following predefined learning targets, the students need to structure the elaborated content in an academic presentation and present their results in class. Thereby, the teams are responsible for developing a didactic concept in order to support the understanding of the discussed topics. Furthermore, the participants are required to document their research method as well as their results. After the course, the participants are able to discuss the functions and impact of operations management in an international context.

5 ECTS

3. Lecturers Prof. Beckmann

4. Module coordinator Prof. Beckmann 5. Contents This course combines the perspectives of the ethics of competitive

markets, business ethics, and corporate social responsibility. First, we address the question of how social and environmental objectives are met at a macro-level. Here, we place particular emphasis on national and supranational governance structures. In a second step, we take on the perspective of the individual firm by raising the question as to if and to what extent firms need to incorporate moral issues into their value creation processes. Against this background, corporate social responsibility may serve as a means of implementing these moral issues. Thus, we take a closer look at CSR, its origins, development, and tools.


Students: • Are able to provide differentiated arguments on

questions relevant to our society • Have skills to critically reflect current issues in

business ethics and CSR • Know concepts that help to critically reflect the role of

business in society • Understand the changing environment of companies • Are able to use dilemma structure as analytical tool • Understand the CSR discourse and its core concepts

3. Lecturers Prof. Beckmann und Dr. Zvezdov

4. Module coordinator Prof. Beckmann 5. Contents This course takes a closer look at management and organization

theories. In particular, we use the specificities of a social business i.e. a business that pursuits a social mission while generating profits, to gain insights into why organizations exit, how they function and how they interact with each other. The course addresses theories such as transaction cost theory, agency theory or theories of entrepreneurship. Studying management and organizations theories from the perspective of mission-driven organization helps us to better understand the potential conflict of diverse interests i.e. simultaneously creating financial, social, and environmental value. These insights provide insights into many issues that companies face when implementing sustainability strategies.


Students: • Are able to analyze classic articles in management and

organization theory • Can critically reflect these theories. In particular, students

are able to engage each other in fruitful classroom discussions about the applicability of these theories as well as on their boundary conditions.

• Advance their feedback skills by providing other students with feedback during class

• Can apply these theories to the specific context of mission-driven organizations

• Better understand the bigger picture i.e. to recognize patterns in situations

• Can employ their theoretical knowledge to examples from practice.

• Advance their teamwork skills through group work during class as well as team presentations

3. Lecturers Prof. Falke & staff

4. Module coordinator Prof. Falke 5. Contents This course is designed to examine the relationship between

through information technology (IT) and consists of two parts. The first part takes a systemic perspective in the discussion of the impact of IT on innovation in different industrial sectors. We introduce different theoretical perspectives to look into the organizational changes provoked by and explore how these perspectives can help to understand the consequences for modern economies. The second part gives students a thorough understanding of actual cases of digitalization achieved through IT and IT-enabled services. We use case studies on large organizations involved in digitalization to explore the birth and growth of IT clusters, the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing & offshoring, and the inherent risks and opportunities moving up the value chain. During the course, the students will gain deeper insight into the latest scientific developments and trends in the field, as well as an overview of global IT delivery models used in the industry. It will give students orientation for future career choices in academia or industry.

service systems and their practical application • know more about the contribution of information technology in

managing complex innovation activities • have an improved understanding of the global IT Industry and

various strategies that are used • can identify and unravel the business problem in a case study

4. Module coordinator Prof. Beckmann 5. Contents Nachhaltigkeit ist ein immer wichtiger werdendes Thema für

Unternehmen. Allerdings wird häufig bei der Frage, wie Unternehmen mit Nachhaltigkeitsfragen umgehen können, der Fokus auf große Unternehmen und Konzerne gelegt. Da jedoch die überwiegende Anzahl von Unternehmen klein und mittelständisch ist, bieten gerade KMUs ein besonderes Potenzial für die Nachhaltigkeit. Gleichzeitig bietet Nachhaltigkeit insbesondre für KMUs die Möglichkeit sich am Markt zu differenzieren und damit Wettbewerbsvorteile zu generieren. Daher widmet sich dieses Seminar der Rolle von Nachhaltigkeit im Kontext von kleinen und mittelständischen Unternehmen. Hierbei verbindet das Seminar konzeptionelle und praktische Aspekte. In einem ersten Schritt werden wir allgemein auf die Besonderheiten von KMUs eingehen und eine kurze Einführung zu Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement gegen. Anschließend werden wir verschiedene Funktionen eines Unternehmens betrachten und jedes Mal der Frage nachgehen, inwieweit die Besonderheiten von KMU das jeweilige Management von Nachhaltigkeitsfragen beeinflussen. In diesem Teil des Seminars werden die Inhalte basierend auf Referaten, Gruppendiskussion, Fallstudien und Input seitens der Dozierenden erarbeitet. Nach Abschluss des konzeptionellen Teils beginnt der praktische Teil des Seminars. Hierfür suchen die Teilnehmenden sich selbstständig Praxispartner (KMUs). Ziel ist es neben einer Ökoeffizienzanalyse für einen weiteren Bereich ein Nachhaltigkeitsmanagementkonzept für diesen Praxispartner zu erarbeiten.


Die Studierenden erlernen, • Vertiefte Kenntnisse im Bereich

Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement • Spezifische Fachkenntnisse zur Arbeit mit kleinen und

mittelständischen Unternehmen • Praxiserfahrung durch die selbständige Akquise und

Zusammenarbeit mit einem Praxispartner • Anwendungskompetenz während der Erstellung des

Nachhaltigkeitskonzeptes • Argumentationskompetenz und kritische Reflexion

gesellschaftlich relevanter Fragen • Analytisches Vorgehen und pragmatische

Entscheidungsfähigkeiten • Teamfähigkeiten und soziale Kompetenzen
